While many UGA students went to the beach this week for spring break, the university’s baseball players hit the shop.
The Diamond Dogs visited Hendrick Motorsports, which is located in Concord, N.C., about 22 miles outside Charlotte. The visit was held Tuesday afternoon prior to Georgia’s game against the Charlotte 49ers later that evening. The players learned about the jobs of a NASCAR pit crew.
Six-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson’s crew was on hand to educate the team about their duties and to perform example pit stops while the players watched.
